A Quiet Week for Police



An Amagansett man was charged with aggravated drunken driving last Thursday night after crashing his 2000 Nissan into a wall off Accabonac Road.Elfido Lopez-Mendez was headed south on Collins Avenue, just inside East Hampton Town police jurisdiction, when his car drifted across the double yellow line as he turned left onto Accabonac. After making the turn, he swerved off the road, across a grassy shoulder, and into and onto a slate wall in front of a residence.
